If you head down to 81 Renshaw Street during the Liverpool Comedy Festival, you will be treated to some of the best up and coming comic performers in the country.

Sketch group Gein's Family Gift Shop will bring audiences on a one-hour journey through "dark, absurd and fast-paced" sketches that marry "the tragic with the riotous".

The Manchester trio were named Best New Sketch Act and Audience Choice Award at London Sketchfest 2014, and were also nominated for Best Newcomer at this year's Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Awards, so you know you'll be in for a hell of a ride.

Are women as funny as men? And is Kiri likely to end up committing an accidental hate crime? You'll have to head along to her show to find out.

Gein's Family Gift Shop and Kiri Pritchard McLean will be performing at 81 Renshaw Street on Friday 26 September as part of Liverpool Comedy Festival. To book tickets, call 0870 787 1866 or visit the website.
